That would explain it. Evening light is always more diffused and "pastel" seeming.

exactly, sir - the difference between a harsh gold/red and a softer pink flavor....

I thought I'd have a nice quiet walk out to Brentor. . . and arrived smack in the middle of a wedding.

Thanks Paul. The big blue vehicle is a tractor, which is sort of the traditional conveyance for countryside weddings around here. And believe me, no ordinary limousine in existence would be able to get up the steep, slippy slope to Brentor church. There were two more tractors waiting outside the frame to ferry the guests back down in trailers too.

Here's an unedited snap from the bottom of the slope that I think shows why the tractor was needed. I'm thinking of doing a B&W from this one, but the au naturel version will have to do for now.

I see you got your post processing groove in for the K100D... fantastic results.

Here's the "successor" of the K100D, the K200D, SMC-M 100mm f/2.8. Green on green!

Thanks Christian, but actually I think the compression to web size makes it look overprocessed. The original looks natural at full screen, but even the Flickr rendering has an unnatural look to it. Ah well, it is what it is. I don't plan to make different versions of snaps just to look good on the web.

Funny thing is, it looks fine on Facebook. Presumably they are using a proprietary rendering engine that works better than other sites.

Wheal Betsy, freshly repaired after a fire last year but still with her famously wonky chimney.

I'm curious... what kind of factory was that? Is this a historical building?

It was the pump house for a tin mine. In its working days it would have been completely filled by the beam engine that powered the pumps to keep the shafts and tunnels dry. Until the early 20th Century some parts of Dartmoor were a surprisingly industrial landscape and there are still some relics of those days around. Actually, the modern value of rare earth metals is getting to the point where mining could become profitable again, but understandably there's a lot of opposition to that happening inside the national park.

Wheal Betsy is a listed monument owned by the National Trust, so it should stay well preserved for future generations to visit.

On the CCD front, I grabbed a charity shop find Canon Powershot A560 today just for fun. I'll put CHDK on it and post some results when I've got some.

Hey, congrats! Just for grins I picked one of these up a few years ago too! I love how you can put a pair of AA Eneloops in them & they last for ages
From 2017 with the A560:
